Chapter 684: Inverse Scale (2)

Near twelve o'clock at noon, Grae's family of three with the bright and beautiful Graff left the club and came to a block near Fifth Avenue on 92nd Street in the Upper East Side.

The car stopped in front of a townhouse. After getting off the car, Grace looked at the villa in front of her, and she was still inexplicably unwilling in her heart.

There are many single-family townhouses in the Upper East Side neighborhood near Central Park. Most townhouses are only 5 meters wide and look very crowded. However, most people struggle for a lifetime and may not be able to Own such a villa in this area.

The white European-style villa in front of Grace has double the size of the common townhouse. It is exactly 12 by 18, with a single floor of about 200 square meters, five floors above the ground, and a basement floor, totaling 1,200 square meters of internal space. There is also a roof garden.

This is the canary cage that the little man prepared for the three mothers and daughters of Graff.

Recently, Grace has quietly visited this fascinating mansion more than once.

The double-spec luxury townhouse, tens of meters away is the prime location of Central Park. There are a total of 35 rooms inside. In addition to the standard configuration, there is a gym, home theater, private wine cellar and an indoor swimming pool built on the basement floor .

Grace quietly inquired that the price of a similar villa nearby was as high as $21 million.

You know, it is not 7 years ago.

During the stock market crash of 1987, Simon Westeros, who had just risen, purchased a penthouse mansion on East 68th Street overlooking Central Park. It is said that Westero was fired because the homeowner happened to be in financial trouble. The actual value of a real estate valued at $15 million was only $11 million.

According to some media reports, the total area of ​​the duplex mansion that occupies the top three floors of a building close to Central Park is exactly 1,200 square meters.

The price of luxury homes in the world-class affluent area of ​​the Upper East Side has a characteristic. When the real estate environment is sluggish, house prices in these areas will not fall too much, the real estate industry will recover, and the prices of top luxury houses will rise first.

Seven years have passed, and the price of the diamond-level duplex mansion has now doubled at least.

Now if you choose to sell, there will be no shortage of buyers with a quotation of 30 million US dollars.

As for the townhouse in front of the hottest area between East 60th Street and East 80th Street, although the Spurs and his wife have ushered in the second spring of their career because of Simon, they want to buy it. Lace felt that she could only think about it in her dream.

A luxury house worth 20 million US dollars does not mean you can buy it for 20 million US dollars. If you want to afford such a luxury house, your net worth should be at least 10 times the price.

Grace came over a few times before and even had the idea of ​​wanting to be a canary.

The three of the Gralf family quickly got out of the car, and Grace no longer made senseless feelings, but just stepped on the steps of the villa in silence, and directly pulled out a bunch of keys from the shoulder bag and opened the door.

There are already people waiting in the villa.

A total of 11 people.

A housekeeper about 40 years old, six maids, and four bodyguards and drivers who are also women.

These are not the lineages cultivated by the Westeros family, but they are all carefully selected professional backgrounds, with perfect professional records, full-time responsibilities, rigorous tone, and rigorous background checks and psychological evaluations before entering the job. And polygraph process.

Probably knowing these arrangements, Grace couldn't help asking her doubts in a call.

The luxury villas in the Upper East Side are already luxurious enough. She feels that it would be a waste to arrange such a team to serve the three mothers and daughters.

Then the man said that these people were not serving the Gralf family, but the Westeros.

Grace later wanted to understand.

The three mothers and daughters of Gralf are located in the mind of a little man like this villa,

It is still the rule of the big people.

Just like Grace herself, she is now the vice president of Elite's North American branch. During this time, she did many things for Simon unconsciously.

And there is no salary.

The service team in this house in front of us is actually serving the vast industry of the Westeros family. It is still only the periphery. After testing in the future, they have confirmed their loyalty and reliability. Perhaps they can go further and enter Westeros. The core of the family is like ABCD.

As for the three vases.

Thinking a little bit more, Grace's envy disappeared a lot.

Facing everyone in the living room wearing professional uniforms, even though they were recognized as servants, even the three members of the Graff family who had never experienced such battles before were somewhat restrained. Laura Graff quietly looked at Around, looking for the figure of the owner of this villa, a certain name came up in his mind.

Perhaps the man who noticed her at the party did not forget this.

The leading housekeeper stepped forward and interrupted Laura Graff's thoughts.

Grace once again looked at the female housekeeper in front of her, about the same age as her, about a meter and seven in size, the same black suit, black high heels, brown hair, a pretty face, but a pretty figure.

It seems to meet the preference of a little man.

Thinking about this, Grace introduced Laura Graff to her side: "Laura, this is Angel Davis, the housekeeper of this apartment. Ann, this is Laura, and she 'S two daughters, Cathy and Victoria."

Angela Davis smiled respectfully and shook hands with Laura Graff, not forgetting to greet the two girls.

Laura Graff is a little confused. Grace introduces herself to what the butler does, shouldn't she see a certain host?

However, she still shook hands with Angri Davis obediently.

With a brief greeting, Grace asked Angrie: "Ann, are you ready for lunch?"

The housekeeper nodded: "Of course, Gree, and everyone, please follow me."

Talking to the women behind them, they ordered them to disperse, and Angeli personally took Grace to the restaurant on the ground floor of the villa.

After sitting down, a maid served a series of sumptuous dishes to the table soon. The long dining table enough to accommodate ten people was almost full and dazzling.

All dishes such as Grace were served, and Angri opened a bottle of red wine and poured it to a few people. This sent everyone away from the restaurant, and said to the already dumb mother and daughter: "Today is the first One day, so I let them do all the dishes they are good at. You can see what you like and order it yourself in the future."

Hearing Grace say this, the family of three sitting opposite finally recovered, and this time Cathy Graff said first: "Ms. Grace, you mean, these are all prepared for us. "

Grace nodded: "You can say that."

Cathy couldn't help but look around, with a certain expectation that she couldn't believe herself: "So, here, too?"

Grace shrugged and picked up her utensils: "You must be hungry, let's eat first."

He looked at the dishes at the table and summoned two maids to help him share the meal.

The mother and daughter who hadn’t enjoyed such a sumptuous lunch for a long time didn’t have much to say, quietly started, until an hour later Victoria Graff had a hiccup on the spot, had already put down the tableware, and was tasting the wine in the villa. Grace's frowned before saying, "Okay, don't eat anymore."

The mother and daughter heard the words, paused, and put down the tableware obediently, but looked at the table obviously reluctantly.

Grace looked at the three women's unexcited appearance and teased: "If you are going to lose shape because of gluttony in the future, even if you go on the street together to be a call girl, there will not necessarily be someone who looks at it." , Got up and said: "Come with me."

Leaving the restaurant, Grace stepped up the stairs and went all the way to the roof garden on the top floor of the villa.

Sitting under a scaffolded by green vines, the maid served coffee and retreated, and Grace glanced at the other three women sitting around the round table again, saying: "Neither of you are stupid, you probably guessed something. Yes, this is Mr. Westero prepared for you."

Laura Graff’s two daughters were not quite sure that their mother had always missed an opportunity to be robbed by Grace. At this time, listening to Grace said, Cathy Graff subconsciously said: "Simon ·Westero?"

Grace nodded and glanced at Laura Graff: "Your mother didn't tell you?"

The two girls looked at their mother together.

During this time, the relationship between the mother and daughter was very stiff, and they quarreled every time.

The three girls didn’t answer, and Grace didn’t ask, saying, “I’ll just say it again, oh, in fact, I don’t want to remind you at all, because I can’t afford such a house, and I can’t enjoy so many servants. Serving, so I hope you will be kicked out. However, I dare not go against Mr. Westeros will."

With that said, Grace took a sip of her coffee before proceeding: "You now have a choice, accept everything in front of you, and then, some words do not need me to point out."

Laura Graff and Cathy Graff are a little silent, and their faces are still young and immature. Victoria Graff can't help but stare: "We, three?"

Grace looked at the girl with a smile, until Victoria realized that she was dropping her head, and then continued: "Promise to come down, you can live here and enjoy a more affluent life than before. However, what will be in the future Things should be done and what should not be done. I think you all can understand for yourself that once you touch the red line, you will be rushed out immediately, and there will be no chance of even staying in the basement this time."

Having said this, Grace pulled out a credit card from her shoulder bag and placed it on the table in front of her, saying: "You don't need to pay attention to all the expenses in the villa. This is your daily pocket, $30,000 per month. As for Can you brush more? It should be possible. However, what will happen to the overspending, I don’t know, you can try it yourself. As for other things in the villa, you can ask Angrie. Well, that’s all, I still There is a lot of work to be done. You have a night to think about it, and give me an answer tomorrow morning, whether to stay here or continue to follow me back to the basement of East Village."

Hearing the word'basement', Victoria Gralf shuddered obviously.

Already back to heaven, who wants to go back to hell.

Laura Glalf saw Grace picking up her shoulder bag and stood up, followed up, and asked, "That, Gray, we... Mr. Westeros..."

Grace understood Laura's meaning and said, "Simon is very busy. When will I see you, maybe tomorrow, maybe a month later, or maybe even a year later, who knows. By the way, even if you stay here, Cathy The modeling career with Victoria will continue, and a lot of projects will be added, which is what Simon means. As for you, continue to be their assistants."

Finally, after finishing the explanation, Grace no longer stayed and went straight to the stairs.

Laura Graff had been sending Grace to the stairs, but was stopped by the agent for a while before stopping.

After a while, it was determined that Grace should have left the villa before Laura returned to the round table under the pergola.Immediately, she noticed that the credit card left by Grace on the round table disappeared and immediately glared at the two daughters: "What about the card?"

The little daughter looked subconsciously at her sister.

Cathy Graff got up and ran to the stairs, and Laura Graff almost chased after screaming: "Cathie, you stop me."

The girl kept walking: "I will keep this card."

"I am your mother. "

"FU."

"What, what do you say, you say it again."

"F——U!!!"

"I beat you to death!"

Seeing her mother and sister disappearing noisily, Victoria, who was sitting at the round table, blinked, then took a sip of the coffee in front of him, picked up the cream cookies in the table tray, ate for a while, and suddenly thought of the broker Some words of Mrs. Ren at lunch forced her to stop.

He got up and looked around. He noticed that there was a ringing bell on the pillar of the rattan frame.

Soon a maid appeared on the roof, respectfully said: "Miss?"

Victoria didn't ask her mother or sister what she meant, but just said, "I want to sleep."

The maid asked, "Which bedroom does the lady want to sleep in?"

Victoria did not want to say: "Master bedroom, the biggest one."

The maid made a gesture: "Please follow me."

Victoria walked up the stairs and asked, "What's your name?"

The maid said: "Lisa Lockhart."

The two said to a master bedroom on the fifth floor, which is a suite with a living room overlooking the street.

Entering the bedroom, Victoria looked at the big bed that looked very soft. Suddenly, his nose was sour, he took off all the clothes on his body and threw it directly, buried his head in the pillow, pulled on the thin blanket, and twisted The body found the most comfortable posture, and finally looked at the maid who bowed to help her organize the clothes on the ground: "Lisa, remember to call me at dinner."

The maid nodded: "Okay, miss."

In this way, Lisa sorted out the girl's clothes, shoes and socks, and looked at the bed again. The young girl had fallen asleep, and her slightly green face was perfect and delicate, just like a sleeping beauty who was hard to wake up.
